Reviews of Che Lagarto Hostel Iguazú

19 December 2011

Liked: the outdoor deck, pool and bar were nice.

Disliked: The staff were riude and unhelpful. They pushed booking tours with them onto the minute you walked into the door. the website. The website said linen and towels, however no towels were avalable - not even for hire for the pool or falls. The linen was horrioble - thin sheets, no blankets and a lumpy uncovered pillow. there were no secuire lockers in a shared room. the room i stayed in smelled so damp it made you sick - as the bathroom ensuite leaked water in onto the carpet. the room was extremely loud form the night clubs outside.

07 December 2011 Sayaka would recommend this property

Liked: Good location, reasonable price, perfect for backpacker's! The room door was a bit broken...just a little old hostel. I asked for a female dorm but it was mixed. The staff was nice and friendly. I enjoyed the food and common area.

30 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great communal areas - pool, big bar, pool table. Good breakfast

Disliked: Dorms are really old and yucky. Beds are horrible (and there's like half an inch of space between the top and bottom bunks). Our bathroom door didn't close.

Liked: Really cheap if you book online, more expensive if you just show up and want a room. The dinner you can buy was wholesome and good value. Breakfast also good. The common areas and kitchen area are really nice. Better value than the accomodation on the Brazilian side of the falls. Good location Really friendly staff

Disliked: The hostel overall is nice but the dorm rooms are quite old and well below average. Several of the rooms face the street so you do get traffic noise. Our bathroom looked hadn't been clean. Can't bring in your own alcohol

Liked: It was clean and there was a bus service organized for the iguaçu falls for just a few pesos more than the official one

Disliked: The money change from argentinian pesos to brazilian reais was made passing by dollars, and it made the price more expensive.

29 August 2011 Luke would recommend this property

Liked: So hard to find a good hostel in Iguazu, given the reviews. This place had a good buffet breakfast with boiled eggs, good cofffee, fresh OJ as well as 3 other 'juices' and other bits. We had a double room which was pretty nice, one night there was only luke warm water for the shower but the second night it was super hot and had great pressure. The do trips to both sides of the falls as well as buffet dinners, didn't use either of these though.

Disliked: Noise. It's a party hostel and the music is crazy loud until about 1am when it's generally quiet enough to pass out with good ear plugs and a couple of drinks inside you. No internet over the two days we were there. Late (2pm) check in religiously applied and early (10am) check out - annoying if you're doing long distance buses. Staff rude and with poor English. Seemed to be full of young kids.

Disliked: There were lots of old people staying when i was there.

05 April 2011

Liked: The breakfast was good.

Disliked: I didn't sleep AT ALL because our room was on the street and was SO NOISY! We also got off to a bad start there as they offer on this website a free airport pick up - which when we called to try and arrange (to a receptionist who couldn't speak english) they had no idea about this. Taxis cost 100pesos so make sure you get the pus which is 20 pesos. They did reimburse us a little but it was pretty frustrating, especially followed up by not being able to sleep. Errrgh.

01 February 2011 Jan-Hendrik would recommend this property

Liked: The breakfast ist very good, but closed at ten, which is to early.

Disliked: The so called kitschen is a disgrace. Not enough sufficient cuttlery, No reasonable pots, pans whatsover and not equiped for a hostel with 100 beds!!

21 January 2011

Liked: Not a thing. I left within 20 minutes and found WAY better accommodation in town. No locks on the dorm rooms...No lockers despite advertising them. Place was quite run down. Lots of things were broken. The place was not very clean. Keyboards so run down the letters had worn off the keys. No lights in the bathroom ensuite as well as no toilet paper AFTER housekeeping had been through.

Disliked: Just about everything. There are MUCH MUCH better options in town. DO NOT BOOK HERE

Liked: nothing

Disliked: Nothing was actually working in the room (shower, AC, Light, tent, windows...and so on)

13 January 2011 Eachael would recommend this property

Liked: swimming pool, wide open communal areas. It felt like a hotel not a hostel.

Disliked: Only 1 key per dorm, not very good when you are in a 10 bed dorm and can´t get into your room. No lockers for valubles.

13 October 2010 Evelyn would recommend this property

Liked: A fabulous facility, like a country club. Peaceful patio area (a pool, too!), spacious, modern dorm rooms, and the evening buffet is not to be believed. The kids on staff are hip, intelligent and so professional. This entire Che Lagarto hostel chain is the way to go.

Disliked: Having to leave it!

22 July 2010

Liked: location is ok

Disliked: Sheets on my bed hadn't been changed, or on the bunnk above mine. Pillows like blocks of wood. Toilet broke, so I fell asleep to the sound of water music. No hot water for shower.
